The book has been around for a few months in Argentina, but the television plug coinciding with its European release and local news coverage must have brought it to the attention of someone at Facebook with the power of the banhammer.

In addition to the user accounts, a "Faceboom" fan group numbering 30,000 disappeared from the site.

After being contacted by journalists, Facebook didn't reply with a comment but did restore the user accounts of Juan Faerman, the author, as well as Guillermo Otero and Fernanda Gaitan Broun, who worked with the author.

However, it warned the creators not to create a new group with the title or parody logo of the book, arguing that it infringed on Facebook trademarks, even though the fan group was originally created by just that -- a fan.

Jackson West kind of wants to get kicked off of Facebook so he has an excuse to leave and never come back.
